So this is somewhat a speaker question, but the headphones are also part of the setup, so there's my relevancy connection.
I was getting some noticeable buzz from my new speakers that after much investigation I nailed down to this: I've got the TV and the CD player hooked into the same preamp which outputs to the amp that goes to the speakers. When connected to the TV, even when set to the CD player, the preamp was putting out a loud buzzing noise through the amp.
Finally figured out that it was coming from the cable box. Coaxial cable goes into the box, and any connectors (HDMI in this case, but composite had the same result) that went into the TV routed its way through into the amp. I've moved the cable box and coaxial cable so that it's no longer intersecting with any cables or power sources, but no change. Is there any quick fix to this, besides don't use cable TV? Any sort of filter I can use?
